Same place! Unbelievable transformation, though I was too young to witness it. Supposedly it was your everyday grocery store, then they started selling calculators or something back in the 70s... Now they sell pretty much every electronic device you could imagine, as well as pretty much every item of junk food eaten by the engineers who create those devices. Weird dichotomy.

Two different chains. In Arizona there is a grocery store chain called Fry's. Fry's Electronics (a Calif. chain) recently moved into Phoenix by purchasing Incredible Universe from Tandy. They turned a nice building into a Flea market.
